Ottumwa Courier Jan. 5, 1884

There has been great excitement over the murder of Turnkey Manning by the burglar Williams. The search has been continued vigorously and parties were still out after him Thursday evening. The murderer walked into the office of the Chief-of-Police and gave himself up. He had been concealed in a barn deep in the hay near the jail. Police officers had searched the hay and were right over him once. Both his feet were frozen and the severe cold was too much for him. All the quiet and very few people are aware of the fact that Williams is in jail. The officers are keeping it as still as possible for fear of lynching
